Elite? C'mon, working out in the far east, when HK was a dirty, down trodden colony?
Choice of every pilot? Not true, it was the choice some pilots had to make after failing to secure employment with their national airline. Or were ejected from the military, and called up their squadron mates.
Back in the '80s was the hey day of legacy pay in Europe. BA Captains lived very well, thank you. No need to sweat it out in HK.
